Hydrothermal quartz veins. Located on Granby Land Trust Property. Apparently the place first written about by Steuben Taylor (1823):
Quartz Crystals are found pure and well defined, from one to two inches in length and from one third to three-fourths of an inch in diameter, in the western part of Granby, in a field a few rods north east of a blacksmith's shop, occupied by Mr. Tracy Cannon. In some of the rocks they form geodes of considerable size. Of these I obtained some specimens which, when placed near the blaze of a candle, exhibit a remarkably brilliant and beautiful appearance.
